Filière avicole : L'IPAS monte au créneau contre l'arrivée des multinationales étrangères
Anxiety is now strongly shaking public opinion within the poultry farming community of Senegal, grouped within the Interprofessional Poultry Association of Senegal (IPAS), who are raising the alarm about the economic, social and environmental risks linked to the establishment of large foreign poultry producers in the regions of Thiès and Diourbel.
In a meeting this weekend in Thiès, stakeholders in the sector called for greater consideration of the implications of this development for the industry. They strongly oppose the establishment of large foreign investors in the sector, particularly a proposed industrial farm with one million laying hens.
These actors, whose main demands and concerns revolve around food sovereignty, fear that opening the market to foreign multinationals will destroy the autonomy of the national sector.
IPAS Secretary General Mamadou Ba, referring to the economic impact, warned that such a large-scale project could disrupt the egg market and threaten the jobs of thousands of local producers after twenty years of effort.
Poultry farmers in Senegal fear unfair competition, which they consider unbalanced given the financial power of foreign groups. The industry association, which is appealing to the authorities, is planning peaceful protests to urge President Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye and his government to restrict foreign investment in this strategic sector.
